I will connect to windows xp sp2 via windows Vista Home. How can I connect to my PC via the internet? What software to use? Can I connect even though my PC is off but the modem and internet connection is on?

If your computer is off then you'll be needing specialized software for that.
I believe GoToMyPC.com has a program that can help you with that.
Outside of that, it's complicated to wake a PC from "off" rather than just hibernation or stand-by.

There are several ways to connect to your computer remotely. Some are free while others will cost you. I recommend GoToMyPC, which is a service that allows to control your computer remotely. Here is their website: https://www.gotomypc.com/en_US/entry.tmpl?_sid=251233486%3A529C9D93BCA1402&Action=rgoto&_sf=2
I like the service because it secures your connection to your computer by encrypting the connection. For more ways to control your computer remotely, read PC World magazine's article titled "Windows Tips: Access Your Desktop From Wherever You May Be" (http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,116030/printable.html). The article talks about a free option.
